A spring rain rained for four days, and the seedlings in the fields became even greener. The morning sun is like a very comfortable holiday, and it shines brighter to every corner of the world.

Li Erhu was lying on the recliner made by Li Sheng, watching the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry build his own house, not to mention how pleasant the smile on his face was. The son is capable, the fifteen-year-old county marquis, and the entire Tang Dynasty can't find a second person. Fiefdom money is even more significant. Even he was stained with light, and he also got a seven-grade martial arts officer.

Thinking of this, Li Erhu was even more proud, squinted his eyes, and Guan Lao Wu, who was lying on the side, said: "Old Wu, don't farm the land, come to my house in the future, help Li Sheng do something, and your family will eat at home." ”

"Second brother, did you really let me follow Master Hou?"

"That's still false. I've got the final say! Li Erhu directly made a decision, and Li Erhu thanked him for a while.

Since Guan Lao Wu knew that Li Sheng had been made a county marquis, he didn't mention the joy he had, just like he had a county marquis. It's just that I heard that Li Sheng was injured and was left in the hospital, and Guan Lao Wu was also very worried. Fortunately, within a day, Li Sheng was sent back, and when he saw that Li Sheng only had a broken arm, he was relieved. An arm is worth it for a county marquis, not to mention that it is just broken.

Guan Lao Wuyi heard that Li Erhu asked him to follow Li Sheng, but he was excited in his heart, because of what, because the difference between the county marquis and the county man is big. The titles of the Tang Dynasty were divided into nine ranks, namely: king, county king, national prince, county duke, county marquis, county uncle, county son, and county male. Although the knighthood of Zhenguan in the early years was all false, there was no real food. But there is still a right to a knighthood. For example, hereditary, only when the county marquis arrives can he be hereditary. There are no hereditary rights below the county level. There is also the guard of honor, and the county marquis already has the right to use the guard of honor. There is also the mansion, the mansion of the county marquis was built at the expense of the state, and it must have the specifications of the county marquis. The second is the attendant, Li Sheng can form a team of 100 people to protect his own safety at this time, and the state will pay his salary. Generally speaking, Li Sheng's family is now considered a noble of the Tang Dynasty, and it can be enslaved in a group and a high-ranking mansion. You said that Guan Lao Wu could enter the door of the Li family, do you say he is happy?

But Li Sheng was unhappy, not because of Guan Lao Wu's matter. But since the emperor decreed that he was named a county marquis, the door of his house was about to be trampled on, as for why, it was because Li Shimin was not kind, and he was informed of the fact that he made a movable type printing press.

Being able to read is a luxury for ordinary people. Ordinary people have no money and cannot afford to pay for tuition, and second, they have no money to buy books. Before the advent of movable type printing, the price of ordinary books was more than 100 yuan, and even the most ordinary enlightenment books cost dozens of yuan. Do you say that ordinary people can afford it, even if they can afford one, can they afford to buy eight out of ten? Therefore, if the children of the common people want to study, they stop the people like books.

However, since Li Shimin issued an edict to proclaim, it was only because Li Sheng built a movable type printing press that greatly reduced the cost of books. It was also stated that movable type printed books were owned by the State. He also said that he wanted to exchange books for food in the hands of the common people, and he also gave one bucket of rice, like the usual four books and five classics, three books and one bucket, and the books for enlightenment were given away for free. What is even more ruthless is that Li Shimin announced that the imperial examination will be held before the autumn harvest this year, and priority will be given to the recruitment of children from poor families.

As soon as the edict was issued, the world shook, and Li Sheng's name also resounded in the sea. Some of the children of the poor families who lived relatively close to each other all went to Li Sheng's house to kowtow and thank each other. What made Li Sheng even more unacceptable was that Li Sheng was also affectionately called Li Gong by the children of the Han family, and even they privately named Li Sheng as Li Zi, making Li Sheng a generation of saints.

Don't blame the children of the Han family for revering him, the movable type printing press built by Li Sheng is definitely so powerful. He gave the common people the courage to turn over, and gave the children of the poor family the ability to enter the military field. Do you say they are not grateful to Li Sheng?

However, some people respect and some people scold, and all booksellers in the world can scold Li Sheng for being incomplete. There is also the big family members, who hate Li Shengna to the core. Li Shimin's hand is too ruthless, didn't we just give you the grain, you directly drew your salary from the bottom of the kettle, which didn't let people live. Just as the family was about to fight back, a bombshell was ignited in Chang'an, and the sound resounded throughout the country.

"Your Majesty, the five people who held Li Xianhou hostage captured three people alive, and two were killed during the fight." Changde walked quickly to the Chengqing Hall and bowed down to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, stood up, moved his body and said, "How is the interrogation?" ”

"After the interrogation, there were three people who participated in the instigation, Cui Jian in the household department, Lu Di in Langzhong in the Ministry of Works, and Wang Jiyuan, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. In addition to these three people, there are more than 30 officials of all sizes involved in this matter, although they are not directly involved in this matter, these people have secretly contacted these three people. After Chang De's announcement, he bowed and flashed to the side.

"Have you gathered the evidence I want?"

Chang De presented a stack of evidence and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave has picked up these dozens of officials who wet the bed when they were children. ”

Li Shimin saw Changde, who had always been serious and restrained, and rarely said a joke, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart. also joked: "You old slave didn't collect the flower patterns they used to spend candles in the cave room and hide them privately, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have been watching the old slave's jokes, what do the old slaves want? It's useless for the old slave to ask for it. Changde said very awkwardly.

"Hahaha......! Changde has done a good job, pass on the meal, I want to drink a few cups with you. You and my master and servant have never drunk together, but I am glad to drink with you today. ”

"Your Majesty, this is out of place, the longevity of the old slave is small, and the majesty of Your Majesty is big. The old slave can have a word from you, and this matter must not be done. Changde was moved, and hurriedly knelt down and said.

"I've been an emperor for four years, and I'm still like this." Behind the screen, the eldest grandson Wuji heard the words of Changde and Li Shimin, and said in a low voice.

"What is the eldest grandson Wuji muttering outside!" When Li Shimin heard it, he was the eldest grandson Wuji, and he dared to murmur behind his back in this world.

The eldest grandson Wuji walked out with a smile, walked to the hall, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Your Majesty treats his subordinates so kindly, and praises Your Majesty as the Emperor of Shengming." ”

"Don't play tricks, I'm not deaf yet." Li Shimin was disdainful of the eldest grandson Wuji's changing face.

"Your Majesty, the minister has distributed the three and a half million books printed in the past two months, and is already on his way to the prefectures and counties. In addition, 100,000 stone of grain has been exchanged for grain around Chang'an, plus the requisitioned grain, and the southward migration can already begin at this time. The minister has come to ask His Majesty to decide. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't answer the conversation, but turned back to business.

"You've done it, what else do you want, hurry up and do it." Li Shimin remembered the sentence "two poles", and saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was not pleasing to the eye, so he wanted to drive people out, out of sight and out of mind.

"Your Majesty, it's noon, and the ministers are hungry and thirsty. I don't know ...... Your Majesty"

"I'm not hungry, I'm full of anger from you. Do you want to send you a special meal? ”

Li Shimin couldn't hold back, he was already full of anger, his eldest brother was changing the law to stop him. The emperor is the honor of the ninety-five, and he drinks with the eunuchs, which is a major matter of respecting and inferiority. If the counselor knew about this, Li Shimin would let Wei Zheng pile up the twists and turns of the counselor. The eldest grandson Wuji is also good to him, but the title of "two poles" is a bit annoying.

"Since Your Majesty is no longer hungry, the minister will go back to eat."

The eldest grandson Wuji also did something, and also stopped Li Shimin, and left happily. Li Shimin is angry, no way, whoever made him the emperor is destined to be a lonely person, and when he is happy, he doesn't want to drink with anyone to celebrate, he can drink and celebrate. Some are lost, the laws of heaven and earth, and the emperor cannot escape.

Li Sheng hung his arm and lay on the recliner in the courtyard, and Guan Lao Wu sat on the small stool on the side, listening to Li Sheng's instructions.

"Fifth uncle, this hatchery house I asked you to build must be tightly closed, except for the door, not a single window should be left. There is also a kang bed, which should be covered with straw and wheat straw and other straws, so as to play the role of heat insulation. The stove outside the house must be connected to the kang bed with a flue, and it must also go out of a chimney. Can these be remembered? ”

"Remember! No, nephew of the Li family, can you tell me what is the use of building this house? ”

Guan Lao Wuyi was called over early in the morning, and Li Sheng took a drawing and ordered. Guan Lao Wu really couldn't understand what the use of building such a house was.

"Hatching chicks, that is, like hens, hatching chicks." Li Sheng said: "It can also hatch ducks and geese. ”

"Ahh Can this be done? ”

"It can be done! You take the drawings I gave you and tell them what I said, and they will know how to build it. When they're done, I can let you know if it's going to be done. ”

Guan Lao Wu took the drawings and didn't believe it, but he still went to do it. Originally, Li Sheng didn't need to let Guan Lao Wu pass the word, but directly called the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to save more trouble. This is also so that Guan Lao Wu has something to do in Li Sheng's house, and Li Sheng is also to take care of Guan Lao Wu.

Li Sheng was already a county marquis at this time, and he had 500 acres of fiefdom. Some time ago, Wang Sili personally brought people over and drew 500 acres of land for Li Sheng around Lijia Village. These lands are Li Erhu and his grandfather, and they can't be planted to death, so they must need someone to help take care of them. Li Sheng definitely couldn't let his father do this kind of work, so he had to let Guan Lao Wu do these things.

Li Erhu is no longer a government soldier, Li Shimin gave him a seven-rank military officer, which also solved a piece of Li Sheng's heart disease. Li Erhu didn't do anything at this time, and he still had Yu Luna, plus his son was a county marquis, so he couldn't go out to fight anymore.

The reason why Li Sheng wants to build the incubator is to increase the income of the people in Lijia Village, the second is to develop large-scale farming, and the third is to accumulate fertilizer. Animal husbandry is a good project to promote the social economy of agriculture, and it is also a good project to kill multiple birds with one stone. However, someone has to take the lead in funding, because the Tang Dynasty at this time was plagued by wars all year round, natural disasters continued, and people's livelihood withered. Ordinary people have no money in their hands, they can barely fill their stomachs, and there is the ability to do this.

If Li Sheng wants to start it, he has to take the lead at his own expense, and he has to give it to the people of Lijia Village on credit, and Li Sheng also buys cattle, sheep and pigs for them to raise on their behalf. raised Li Shengbao to pay for the feed money, and raised Li Sheng to give them a commission. This made the villagers of Lijia Village all grateful to Li Sheng.

Some time ago, Guan Lao Wu had bought 500 ewes and 300 piglets, all of which were handed over to the villagers to raise. At this time, Li Sheng built an incubation room, and all the chickens, ducks and geese hatched would be handed over to the villagers to raise on their behalf. After a year, after the villagers are rich, Li Sheng will also develop this method to other villages.

Li Sheng also discussed the matter with Wang Sili, and Wang Sili was overjoyed. If this is done, the issue of Wang Sili's promotion in the future will not be a problem. It's not an ordinary thank you to Li Sheng. Wang Sili also chose a village near Lijia Village and started the method of animal husbandry with Li Sheng.

Soon after Guan Lao Wu left, Wang Sili came to the courtyard of Li Sheng's house, after Wang Sili came back from Li Sheng, this was the first time he came back, and Li Sheng couldn't remember it.

"Master Hou, the lower official has given you a salute." Wang Sili smiled and saluted.

"I said Wang County Order, you are joking with the kid again. What is the relationship between you and me, do you still need to be polite? ”

Li Sheng also gave him face, according to the Tang system, the county marquis was knighted from the second rank, and the county order was a seventh-grade official position, so he naturally wanted to give Li Sheng a gift. However, the title of the Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with the official rank, and there is no need for Wang Sili to give Li Sheng a gift. This is the fuck of the Tang system, and there is no way, generally there is a corresponding vacant position hanging on the title, but Li Sheng does not. However, even if Li Sheng did not have a false position, Wang Sili did not dare to hold it up. Now Li Sheng's reputation is known to the whole country, and even many poor officials in important positions are paying attention to Li Sheng. lent Wang Sili a few courages, and he didn't dare to be unreasonable to Li Sheng.

"Master Hou is giving face to the lower officials, and the lower officials are also in their pockets. Xia Guan came today because he had a good thing to tell Hou Ye, and the person who held Hou Ye hostage and assassinated Hou Ye was caught. Wang Sili was also not polite, and sat on the stool that Guan Lao Wu had made.

"Oh! Who are they? ”

"Naturally, it is a person from a big family, and the Hou Ye has done a great thing for us, the children of the poor family, and they will definitely be unhappy. It is really against the teachings of the saints to carry out such despicable means. Wang Sili said disdainfully.

Li Sheng had long understood that they did it, but he didn't expect to be caught by Li Shimin so soon. It seems that Li Shimin has already calculated them.

"What did you do in the end?"

The three leaders were beheaded, and so were the perpetrators. And more than 30 officials who were involved in this matter, those who were removed from their posts, and those who were exiled. Coupled with the credit of Hou Ye, the family gate valve, this time it was a big injury, and it was really happy that he didn't dare to let go of the fart in the end. ”

Li Sheng vaguely felt that this matter was not over. The millennium gate valve will not be so inactive. Li Sheng felt himself caught in a larger maelstrom.
